Cohorts are small. The internet is not.

A cohort of twelve fills. Thousands of women will read this site and never get a place, either because the timing is wrong or because the cohort is full. Sending them away with nothing is a waste of the fact that they came.

So the craft goes online: how a camera department actually works, what a focus puller does all day, how a call sheet is read, what happens on a set before anyone turns over. Taught by people doing the job now, in the terminology used on a UK unit.

Opening. The first films are in production. Nothing is published yet and we will not pretend otherwise.

The things nobody explains because everyone assumes you already know.

• How a unit is put together — the departments, who reports to whom, and what each does on a shooting day.
• Reading a call sheet — the single most useful document on a production and the one nobody teaches.
• The grades explained — what the UK job titles actually mean, what each one does, and what the route between them looks like.
• Kit, honestly — what the equipment does, in plain words, before the brand names.
• On a set — etiquette, safety, radio discipline, and the unwritten rules that are obvious only once somebody says them.
• Faith on a working day — prayer, fasting, catering and dress as scheduling questions rather than special requests.

The best next step is often somewhere else, and we would rather say so.

We keep a directory of other UK screen training, faith and community organisations, industry bodies and the union — with an honest note on what each is actually good for, including where the answer is *go here instead of us*.

Where else to go is that list. Nobody on it is a partner and being listed is not an endorsement; it is a signpost.
